A wave of private donations in suburban Naperville is helping to feed hospital workers and keep local restaurants infused with cash as the world takes measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

The Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce has raised more than
$25,000 since last Wednesday in an effort to help restaurants and provide hot
meals to front line medical workers, police officers and firefighters.

“The
generosity of this community is great and what we can do with that just exceeds
our expectations,” said Kaylin Risvold, President & CEO of the Naperville
Area Chamber of Commerce.
